Ikano Centres, part of Ikano Retail and the developer of IKEA-anchored shopping centres, announces the upcoming launch of two dedicated dining hubs – IPC Gourmet Hall in IPC Shopping Centre and Toppen Foodland in Toppen Shopping Centre both scheduled to open in December 2026.
Food is deeply rooted in Malaysian culture and everyday life. The introduction of these two concepts reflects Ikano Centres' continued focus to enhance and invest in the dining experience within its centres, creating dynamic social spaces where communities can connect and enjoy meaningful everyday moments.
IPC Gourmet Hall: A Refined Yet Welcoming Dining Space
The new IPC Gourmet Hall is designed as a refined yet welcoming dining destination bringing together a thoughtfully curated mix of flavours and cuisines. The space encourages shoppers to pause, enjoy moments of quiet indulgence and connect over good food in an environment where everyday dining feels just right.
Scheduled to commence construction in April 2026, the IPC Gourmet Hall will feature a total Gross Leasable Area of 43,000 sq. ft. and will house 39 outlets. The design incorporates indoor greenery and plants, complemented by earthy and calming colour themes to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The contemporary architecture combines sleek lines and neutral tones within an open plan layout that enhances accessibility and a feeling of spaciousness.
To support both communal interaction and private moments, the IPC Gourmet Hall will feature diverse seating arrangements – from social tables to quiet nooks – alongside central island-style food counters that encourage engagement between patrons and tenants.
Toppen Foodland: A Vibrant Social Hub
Down south, Toppen Shopping Centre will introduce Toppen Foodland, a dining destination centred on the tagline 'New eats, new vibes.' Designed as a vibrant social hub, the concept brings together a diverse mix of cuisines and quick dining options for the Johor community.
Building on the addition of Jaya Grocer last August, the Ground Floor of Toppen Shopping Centre will continue its transformation with the new dining space, further expanding the centre's dining and lifestyle offerings.
Construction is set to begin in March 2026. Toppen Foodland will span 35,000 sq. ft. with 32 outlets including a mix of inline restaurants and Grab & Go kiosks that cater to different dining occasions and feature modern industrial-inspired interiors.
This addition further strengthens Toppen's position as a key lifestyle destination for the many people in Johor.
Integrated Retail Ecosystem Anchored by IKEA
Leveraging IKEA as a key anchor creates a fully integrated shopping environment that drives significant cross shopping and customer flow across the destinations. This helps to enhance footfall and the overall attractiveness of both the shopping centres, along with their diverse mix of retail brands.
Adrian Mirea, Managing Director of Ikano Centres, shared: "At Ikano Centres, we are dedicated to creating a better everyday life for the many people. The introduction of IPC Gourmet Hall and Toppen Foodland reflects our commitment to creating more than just a retail space; we are building vibrant destinations that inspire and connect."
As part of the Ikano Group, Ikano Centres remains committed to developing destinations that evolve with the changing lifestyles of today's communities. Through these developments, Ikano Centres aims to strengthen customer engagement while creating long-term value for its retail partners across the region.

RK Live is ecstatic to announce MAX's first live performance in Kuala Lumpur. This 10th May 2026 (Sunday), MAX is putting on a one-night-only show at Vox Live KL for fans to dance to the catchiest of pop anthems, packaged into an unforgettable, high-energy performance.
Labelled as a "Young Pop God" by GQ and a "top popstar to watch" by Billboard, MAX has come a long way since the breakout success of his major-label debut album "Hell's Kitchen Angel". His latest album, "LOVE IN STEREO", has garnered over half a billion streams, made the Spotify Viral Charts in over 20 countries, and was trending on social media.
Having won the title of Best Pop Artist at the Asia Artist Awards (2020) and nominated as Best Pop Artist at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards, it is no surprise that MAX looks forward to performing for fans on this side of the world. MAX is best known for his 2016 Triple-Platinum certified hit "Lights Down Low" – a song which peaked within the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and defined the 2016 music era.
His collaborative work over the years with the likes of HUH YUNJIN of LE SSERAFIM, SUGA of BTS, JAY of ENHYPEN, keshi, and more have churned out addictive, chart-topping hits – including Platinum-certified single "Butterflies (feat. Ali Gatie)" off his third album "LOVE IN STEREO", which peaked at #1 on the Viral Charts.
This May, MAX brings his Kuala Lumpur show to life with a collision of nostalgic favourites and forward-looking pop. Joined by Adrian Danial (of indie band Midnight Fusic) as the opening act, this limited-capacity night promises an electrifying run of hits built for the dancefloor. Ticket sales began on 27th March 2026 (Friday) via Ticketmelon.

Remember "22 Jump Street", that 2014 masterpiece starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill? Specifically, that one scene where they're absolutely out of their minds, cycling through every possible phase of a trip like their brains are running a software update from hell?
Now imagine that single scene stretched into a full-length movie, given a budget, and handed over to two guys who clearly asked, "What if we just… never stopped the bit?"
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo stars in "Pizza Movie"
Yup, that's "Pizza Movie".
Now, from directors Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, the internet sketch duo better known as BriTANicK, this is a loud, messy, cheese-drenched sprint through a reality that stops making sense about five minutes in and never recovers. It doesn't want to recover. It thrives in the nonsense.
So, let's address the obvious. This is a very carefully thought-out and yet brash, dumb stoner flick that gained attention at the SXSW film festival last month.
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone star in "Pizza Movie"
Not accidentally stupid. Not "we tried and failed" stupid. Indeed, this is carefully engineered, lab-grown tomfoolery. The kind that takes real effort to pull off because you need to know exactly how far to push a joke before it collapses in on itself.
And somehow, they nail that balance.
We follow Jack (Gaten Matarazzo) and Montgomery (Sean Giambrone), two college roommates who exist at the absolute bottom of the campus food chain. Not in a cute, underdog way. In a "everyone actively dislikes you on sight" way.
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone star in "Pizza Movie"
Furthermore, it needs to be said that some of the "students" roaming this campus look like they've already lived full lives. Specifically, we're talking about full-grown men who look as though they've just clocked out of a construction shift before showing up to this dorm—men in their late 40s or possibly even 50s.
In the midst of this, Jack feels remarkably like Dustin from "Stranger Things", albeit if the universe had decided to personally ruin his life after he left the den behind in Hawkins. While Matarazzo brings that same signature awkward charm to the role, the film immediately weaponises it against him. For instance, he walks through campus smiling as if he's in the optimistic opening of a coming-of-age movie; however, every single person he passes hits him with a deadpan insult. There is no clear reason for the hostility. Instead, it is just a moment of pure, collective rejection.
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo stars in "Pizza Movie"
It escalates fast. By the time he's tied up on a clock tower and being used for target practice with balloons filled with something that should absolutely be illegal, you realise this movie has no interest in playing nice.
Montgomery is no better off. He's deeply insecure, constantly second-guessing himself, and fully committed to the idea that if he can just impress a girl named Ashley, his life might turn around. It will not. But you respect the optimism.
Also, yes, that voice is instantly familiar. Sean Giambrone, aka Ben Pincus from "Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous", brings a very specific kind of nervous energy that works perfectly here.
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone star in "Pizza Movie"
Things go completely off the rails when the two discover a box of M.I.N.T.S. hidden in their ceiling. If you think those are actual mints, we admire your optimism. Because, nope. Those are pure, unbridled chaos rings in… pill form.
Indeed, the second they kick in, reality folds… or unfolds… whatever.
Their dorm stops being a dorm. It becomes a shifting nightmare where every hallway feels like a different dimension and every door leads to something worse. Heads explode. Bodies swap. Time loops.
Source: Disney+ | Sean Giambrone and Lulu Wilson star in "Pizza Movie"
Hovering over all of this is a very specific, deeply personal threat. Truly, it's the kind of thing that turns a bad trip into a mission. Because somewhere in this chaos, the movie makes it very clear that if they don't fix this in time, their worst fears aren't just metaphorical. And they are coming at them with a chainsaw that would be shoved up their butts.
In the middle of all this, the movie introduces its most important rule. The only way to stop their brains from melting is to consume the sacred combination of milk, tomatoes, and pastry.
Well, say it with us. PIZZA!
Source: Disney+ | Jack Martin stars in "Pizza Movie"
The problem is that the pizza is sitting in the lobby, waiting inside a delivery robot called the Snackotron 3000. Which means our heroes have to travel through two floors of pure insanity to reach it.
What follows is essentially a quest movie disguised as a bad trip. Each "phase" acts like a level in a video game. You enter, you learn the rules, you try to survive, and then you move on before your brain can fully process what just happened. There's the initial onset phase, where the walls start breathing, and the lighting turns the dorm into a low-budget nightclub. It's just disorienting enough to lull you into a false sense of security.
Source: Disney+
The panic phase is where everything breaks. At one point, Jack and Montgomery find themselves trapped inside a giant puppet's intestines, looping endlessly in a way that feels like Groundhog Day if it were directed by someone who had a very strange relationship with Jim Henson.
And then there's the "No-Cursing Zone," which might be the film's standout sequence. The rules are simple. Walk down a hallway without swearing. That's it.
Naturally, everything around them is designed to make that impossible. Every step introduces something more frustrating, more painful, or more absurd. The second they slip up, their heads explode, and they reset at the start.
Source: Disney+
It becomes this perfect loop of tension and release. You know exactly what's coming, and it still lands every time. F-bomb. BOOM. Crap? BOOM.
That's the thing about "Pizza Movie." For a film that looks like complete chaos, it's actually very precise. The jokes land, escalate, and move on. Nothing lingers too long. Nothing feels like it's dragging its feet.
Indeed, that momentum is what carries the movie from start to finish. There's always a new idea, a new visual, a new problem for the characters to deal with. Even when a joke is dumb, it's confidently dumb, and that confidence goes a long way.
Source: Disney+ | Sarah Sherman in "Pizza Movie"
At the centre of all this are Matarazzo and Giambrone, who somehow manage to ground the entire experience. Their dynamic feels real in a way that sneaks up on you. They're not delivering big emotional speeches or having dramatic breakdowns. Sure, they're just two guys who clearly care about each other but would rather do literally anything else than talk about it. So instead, they take mysterious drugs and fight their way through a nightmare for pizza.
Lulu Wilson shows up as Lizzy and immediately adds a different energy to the mix. She feels like someone who could easily exist outside of this madness, which makes her presence inside it even funnier. She's sharp, slightly detached, and just grounded enough to keep things from floating away completely.
Source: Disney+ | Jack Martin stars in "Pizza Movie"
Even the antagonists get their moment. The RAs, especially Blake (played deliciously by Jack Martin), are played with this exaggerated sense of authority that feels both ridiculous and a little too real. They're absurdly militaristic in this dorm. And somehow, the idea is to just kick out several on a hit list to a new dorm, which means they'll get forgotten by society and never learn to live again. How does a college residency do this? We don't know? At this point, we shouldn't be asking too much.
The film itself doesn't want us to ask too much. It's just there to be funny. And it does it consistently. Sure, not every joke is a home run, but the hit rate is high enough that it doesn't matter. If something doesn't land, another gag is already on the way to replace it.
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, and Lulu Wilson star in "Pizza Movie"
By the time you reach the final stretch, it doesn't feel like the movie is running out of steam. If anything, it feels like it could keep going, throwing new phases, new rules, and new nonsense at you without breaking a sweat. And that's kind of the best compliment you can give a movie like this.
And yes, at some point, Daniel Radcliffe shows up voicing a butterfly. No, the movie does not explain this. No, it does not need to.
Source: Disney+
"Pizza Movie" knows exactly what it is. It doesn't try to be smarter than its premise. Sure, it doesn't pause to justify itself. It just commits to the bit and trusts that you're either on board or you're not. If you are, you're going to have a very good time.
It sits comfortably alongside "Pineapple Express" and "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" as a stoner comedy that understands the assignment. Take a simple objective, throw every possible obstacle in the way, and let the chaos do the rest.
Source: Disney+ | Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, and Lulu Wilson star in "Pizza Movie"
Is it downright ridiculous? Yes. Is it loud and gross and completely unserious? Also yes. Does it deliver the pizza on time? Absolutely.
So, grab some slices of milk, tomatoes and cheese. And have the trip of your life.

The Review
"Pizza Movie"
3.5Score
"Pizza Movie" is essentially the legendary "22 Jump Street" trip scene stretched into a 90-minute gauntlet of exploding heads and social anxiety. It's not going to be for everyone and it knows that by taking advantage of Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone, who are all-out in this one. This hallucinogenic odyssey grounded is some of the most fun you'll have losing your mind in 2026.
In celebration of Visit Malaysia 2026, Inside Scoop has launched its 'Rasa-Rasa Malaysia' collection. Since serving its first scoop in Bangsar, Inside Scoop has been on a journey to explore the flavours that define Malaysia. With the 'Rasa-Rasa Malaysia' collection, the brand brings this journey to life, inviting Malaysians to rediscover the country's culinary heritage one scoop at a time.
The limited-time collection features six new flavours representing the unique tastes, ingredients, and stories of various states in Malaysia, ranging from the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur and the heritage corners of Melaka to the historic sites of Johor, the earthy landscapes of Kelantan, the breezy highlands of Pahang, and the lush rainforests of Sarawak.
"Every state in Malaysia has a story and a specific taste that defines 'home'," said Edmund Tan, Co-Founder of Inside Scoop. "We hope these flavours serve as the catalyst that inspires your next trip to sample the local magic of our states firsthand," he added.
The Rasa-Rasa Malaysia collection uses authentic and essentially Malaysian key ingredients that define the palate of each state. The six flavours include:
Affogato (Johor): A tribute to Muar's legendary Liberica "Elephant Bean". Known for its bold aroma and rich intensity, this local powerhouse is swirled into a creamy affogato that celebrates Johor's famed coffee heritage.
Dark Chocolate Banana (Kelantan): Showcasing the East Coast's finest harvest, award-winning Kelantanese 70% dark chocolate meets the creamy sweetness of ripened berangan bananas for a decadent balance of bitter and sweet. This flavour represents the earthy charm of Kelantan.
Dodol Musang King (Melaka): Melaka's heritage meets the King of Fruits. The chewy, caramel soul of traditional dodol durian is enhanced with Musang King for a dessert that is rich and unapologetically indulgent.
Gula Apong Tiramisu (Sarawak): A homage to Borneo's "Black Gold". This tiramisu-inspired creation features a thick ribbon of Sarawakian palm sugar, bringing a unique and smoky caramel profile found nowhere else in the world.
Moola Chocomalt Kaw Dinosaur (Kuala Lumpur & Selangor): The nostalgic taste of a Malaysian childhood. Inspired by the classic mamak order across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, this extra "kaw" ice cream is creamy, indulgent, and over-the-top in all the right ways.
Strawberry Lemonade (Pahang): A refreshing escape to the breezy highlands. Zesty lemon ice cream is blended with Cameron Highlands strawberries, capturing the freshness of the hills and offering a light, refreshing treat perfect for any tropical day.
Every single scoop of 'Rasa-Rasa Malaysia' ice cream will be served in a custom-designed cup sleeve featuring illustrations inspired by each state, making it a fun keepsake while enjoying the flavours. Customers can enjoy the flavours individually or bring home the limited-edition Rasa-Rasa Pack (RM70), which is perfect for sharing the tastes of Malaysia with family and friends.
Additionally, with every purchase of the Rasa-Rasa Pack, customers will receive a limited-edition Ice Cream Passport, encouraging them to travel between various Inside Scoop outlets for a fun stamp rally. Each participating outlet features its own unique stamp design, turning every stop into a cultural adventure as customers collect stamps in their passport.
The 'Rasa-Rasa Malaysia' collection is available at all Inside Scoop outlets nationwide from 6th April 2026 until 11th May 2026. For more information on the new flavours, check out Inside Scoop's Instagram.
Typo is opening an exciting world-first new concept store at IOI Mall, Puchong, Selangor Darul Ehsan, and inviting customers to step into the brand's new playful, elevated and imaginative experience.
The world-first concept store marks a new chapter for Typo, bringing to life the brand's evolution while holding onto the magic that's always defined it. Inspired by the idea that a simple piece of paper can become anything – a plan, a dream, a doodle, a moment of joy – the new concept celebrates creativity in all its forms.
To celebrate the opening, Typo will also be welcoming customers at its new IOI Mall store with free treats in-store from 2nd to 5th April, offering a chance to experience the new space – and a little extra joy – as part of the launch celebration.
While still unmistakably Typo, the new store introduces a step up in quality and experience. The new store layout is more open and immersive, designed as a creative playground where straight lines, squiggles and doodles all belong – a space that encourages customers to slow down, explore and spend time discovering products that feel anything but ordinary.
Stationery remains at the heart of the brand, now featuring elevated paper, construction and usability – designed to feel good to use, whether you're writing lists, journaling, studying or sketching ideas. A broader lifestyle collection spanning gifting, travel and everyday essentials sits alongside, bringing together pieces that add colour, personality and fun to daily life.
Scott Druce, General Manager Typo, said the launch reflects both the brand's growth strategy and its commitment to helping customers express what makes them extraordinary.
"We chose Malaysia for our first new Typo concept store because it's a growing market for us and the customer here is really engaged with the brand. It felt like the right place to start this next chapter. You'll see a step up across everything, from the product to the store experience, but it's still very much Typo at its core. We're excited to open at IOI and see how customers respond to what we're building," said Druce.
Malaysia's vibrant creative energy made it the ideal location to launch Typo's new concept store, with the market showing a strong connection to the brand's customer community.
Cash Ryan, Country Manager Asia, said "It's incredibly special for our Malaysian team and customers to be the first in the world to experience the new Typo brand, product and store concept. Malaysia has such a strong creative spirit and as a much-loved brand across the region, launching this world-first concept store here is a proud moment for our team and celebrates our growth and long-term commitment in the Asia region," said Cash.

Marshall has unveiled its newest party speaker line-up with the launch of Bromley 450. Sporting the same, unmistakable Marshall design as the larger Bromley 750, the compact portable speaker features a rich, immersive True Stereophonic 360° sound, 40+ hours of playtime, and integrated stage lights that make it the centre of attention in any setting.
Every element of the latest portable party speaker is designed with purpose. Tactile controls offer interaction, while the durable construction ensures it stands up to heavy use, loud rooms, and long nights. A water-based PU leather wrap encases a premium box design, with soft TPU plastic corner caps for added durability and a stamped metal grill that sits above integrated lights inspired by '70s stage shows. Bromley 450 is guaranteed to stand out, whether at the living room, festival or backyard.
Whether the party is indoors or outside, there's no need to worry about sacrificing sound quality as the portable speaker has True Stereophonic 360° sound that travels far and can be felt in every direction. Thanks to its IP55 rating, Bromley 450 can also play free from wires and is dirt and splash resistant. Plus, its convenient size, including a built-in handle for easy transportation, makes it the perfect sidekick wherever the party goes. In addition, Bromley 450 has the same rechargeable, replaceable battery of the Bromley 750, allowing users to swap packs and keep the music going even longer.
"Last year, we launched our first ever party speaker and we're excited about growing that family of Marshall speakers already this spring," said Hanna Wallner, Product Manager, Marshall Group. "Bromley 450 is the natural continuation and smaller sibling to Bromley 750. This speaker is smaller and more affordable yet still packed with impressive features including sound that hits every corner, a stage light inspired light show and our unique Marshall design."
"With Bromley 450, our goal was to take everything we loved about the Bromley 750 and bring it into a more compact form. It delivers the same signature sound: fast, powerful bass, clean mids, and detailed highs. Thanks to our unique 360° True Stereophonic design it can always be the center of the party, preserving the depth and atmosphere of your favourite music," added Malcolm Kennedy, Director of Audio & Acoustics, Marshall Group.
Bromley 450 is available to purchase here. Priced at RM3,699, it is also available at Harvey Norman, Thunder Match, and Urban Republic.
